Hawaii was granted statehood as the 50th state of the United States on August 21, 1959. On that date, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Hawaii Admission Act, officially making Hawaii a state and welcoming it into the Union. Prior to its statehood, Hawaii had been a U.S. territory since 1898.
